peeba7 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 OK I know what ambien and stillnox is but I was prescribed this one, googled it, nada. What does the Dactive mean or is it a misspelling of deactive (I lost the box?) What is going on here, what is this about please and thank you.

Sheryl Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 There is no drug by the name Dactive in Thailand AFAIK.Without the name of the drug I can't tell you anything. But if it was prescribed for sleep it was likely something in the antihistamine family.Sent from my SM-J701F using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerry921 Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Zolpidem is the generic name for Ambien, that's the name of the drug. It's not an antihistimine. There are a lot of generic manufacturers. Dactive is the generic manufacturer's brand name for their version. The manufacturer is apparently Zydus (Neuro). http://www.drugsupdate.com/brand/generic/Zolpidem/4270 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheryl Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Thanks for that but I am puzzled that it was prescribed to him as it does not appear to be registered for sale in Thailand. OP if you purchased this over the counter somehow be aware it is a strictly controlled substance in Thailand. It is a psychotropic Category II. Penalty for illegal possession is imprisonment 1-5 years and a fine of 20,000-100,000 Baht. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
